I don't expect the majority of you here on FYM to agree with me, and with that said, maybe I should be a little more clear. I think we've pushed the envelope in such mediums as television as far as they need to be. If they were pushed further, we would be lowering our standards as a society out of desparation to entertain each other. Let me put it this way - moderation is what we have right now. We can say and do whatever we want, but there are times when we may want to alter ourselves, for example, when we are around kids or when we are around people who are likely to be offended. In my personal opinon I think that we've stressed out the sex to a point where we expect it in everything we see, and then we are told that another person's sex life is their business.verte76 said:The problem here is how do you define "sicko" and "decency" and would everyone agree with you? Quite possibly not. Also, isn't the term "moderation" a bit ambiguous? What would "censorship in moderation" be?

In the alternative, can we not then consider any limitation for standards purposes "not censorship"?
Macfistowannabe said:BVS, you're putting way too much fecal matter between the lines. Why can't you just read the post and take it for what it is? I never said that anything I don't like is by sickos. Nice try, though.
